NotchEasy Rustic Console
Step-by-step build — 9 steps. Also available as a print sheet.
1Taper the table legs (optional)
If you would like to add a little flair to your console, taper the ends of each table leg (board D) with a jigsaw.
2Create pocket holes
If you use pocket hole joints, use a Kreg Jig to drill the pocket holes.
3Assemble the console legs
To form a pair of table legs, sandwich board E between boards D. Offset board E 1″ from the edge of board D. Repeat.
4Connect the pair of legs
Connect the pair of legs together with boards C. This will form the frame of the console.
5Attach the shelf supports
- Attach the shelf supports (boards A) to each pair of legs.
- Attach the shelf supports adjacent to the inside edge of the table leg pairs. The first set of shelf supports are placed 13 3/4″ from the top of the leg. The second set of shelf supports are placed 25 1/2″ from the top of the leg.
6Edge join the console shelves
Create the top shelf by edge joining boards F and H together. Board H should be in the middle. Create the two lower shelves by joining boards G and B together. Board B should be in the middle.
7Attach the top shelf
Attach the top shelf to the console frame.
8Attach the bottom shelves
Attach the lower shelves to the console shelf supports
9Apply the finish
Thoroughly sand the console. Use your favorite stain and sealer to finish the console.
